Okay, so I think I figured out what was causing ink to run on the diaper wipes when I used them on young Master James. It wasn’t the thread at all, it was the marker I used to mark the sewing/cutting lines on the fabric!
Instead of a fancy-schmancy fabric market, I used a regular magic marker (actually, a Crayola kids’ marker) in black. I figured that since these were diaper wipes, for goodness’ sake, there was no need to be all fussy with the kind of marker I was using on them.
Clearly I was mistaken!
Yes, Crayola kids’ markers are wonderfully washable, which is one of the things I love about them. But because they’re so washable, they run if they get the slightest bit wet. And diaper wipes probably get plenty wet! 🙂
